Moho Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I still have my iMac G3 & G5 and they work good for my video streaming server. Just take care of them and they won't break; Don't be an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

λngelღмander Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The truth is, non apple products are more likely to break. You have NEVER heard of someone's iPhone just NOT working anymore, but androids and other phones often break INSIDE, and stop working regardless of outside condition. Apple products are better made, but still break easily, as do all other products with GLASS SCREENS. The only reason apple products break so easily is because of how STUPID people are.

>Sneaks Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 No, not really. I've had an ipod touch since my freshman year of highschool (6 years now) But the items are made with the idea of planned obsolescence, which is the idea that they break down over time. But, the stuff itself is durable and hard to break, especially if you take good care of them. (I had a flip phone for around 5 years before upgrading to a smart phone) But the cables, yeah, those are shit. The cable, chargers and stuff fray and wear down so easily. My sister had to buy 3 in less than a year. My advice? Use android and PC. That stuff is more universal and easier to replace. The only reason Apple siphons money from everyone is because people are sheep and buy the new product every year for improvements that can hardly be noticed. TL;DR Apple product id durable but cables are shit. Get android and PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swaveboard SKREECH))) Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Get a Sony Xperia Go. Lags like shit, doesn't support a lot of apps but when my task crashes I throw it across the room and pick it up without even hesitating and it has survived 2 years already with 0 scratches or damage to it.
